Only stopping to get this NP checked off my list - haven't heard real positive things about camping here so not making it an overnight stop

Excited to visit Flatwater Farm/River St. Joe Brewery - woman I met years ago from an event and was just starting farm at the time - now it's a destination in Buchanan

One of a handful of Harvest Hosts sites I've sprinkled into the itinerary but drawback is usually no hookups

Average reviews about this SP - hoping to bookend with Harvest Host stays but will refill water tank and dump if necessary before heading up to Leelanau

Have added another Harvest Host - Boyne Valley Vineyards for Friday night so would only stay at SP on Saturday - Kathy and Susan may visit but HIGHLY unlikely

Feel like I need to fit this in since I'm making the trip but will need to see how feeling at this point in trip - a lot of effort to park and ferry over but...

Highly unlikely I'll venture to MN but since I've never been in the state I may swing over since I'm going to be very close but most likely not staying if I do go - leaving this as a placeholder but again - most likely won't stop

Will call audible as to whether I stop in Conover on way back

Really started this whole road trip hoping Shane and or Jack could possibly meet up with me along the way but that's not looking realistic -- I need to realize that this is my journey and not theirs. Would love to share stops along the way with them but life getting in the way
